Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I'm surprised there is not much talk here about Reflections being cancelled. Disney no longer mentions the resort on their site as well as Disney Parks blog has no posts about it either.

Pretty much just got noticed a few minutes ago. Already posts in the stickied rumor thread and the dedicated Reflections thread.

I was just chatting with a friend who works at merchandise at MK. She was telling me no merchandise CM have been called for MK yet and that the full timers that have been called back and are working at DS are working 60 hours a week, getting paid time and a half. I found that strange since I would think Disney would not want to pay extra on anything and what she thinks is happening is that they are trying to keep the CM count low to allow more guests into the stores (capacity) makes sense to me but that would mean that most Part timers will not get called back soon

Is it possible a lot more CMs are saying to no to returning to work than Disney anticipated so the 1.5x pay is an incentive?

OMG WHAT? Didn’t they just file long term permits like a couple weeks back? (or not. I have not been keeping track, maybe that was SW hotel?)

I was under the impression that if given the opportunity to return to work and you turn it down, then you can no longer collect unemployment.

Not for this. Disney worked out a deal with the union that CMs can opt to not return if they’re high risk, taking care of a high risk person, or just don’t feel comfortable. I’m thinking it then reverts to its as if they were never called back for unemployment purposes.

Good news
Park CM are starting to get callbacks to work
I have first hand info from SWGE full timers, some have been called back to start on the 28th
Remember this process goes by seniority with FT CM being called first, so it will take a while to get the cat in place. But the 28th seems to be starting date for all of them

You know what they say about herding cats.

You are correct but Disney has somehow found a way around this. This isn't the place to say is it right or wrong, I'm simply saying this is what has been reported.

MDE had a update yesterday ...mine are still there

And now they are gone...maybe someday they come back.
But the good news, today starts my 30 day countdown

the time and a half kicks in after they work their 8 hour regular shift. It's not an incentive
As to CM not wanting to return they would just start calling pt which they have not, if they needed more cast

I was under the impression that if given the opportunity to return to work and you turn it down, then you can no longer collect unemployment.

the unemployment benefits expire 3 months after filing, so for CM that would be July 19th, they can continue to collect and after that if they still don't want to come back they can stayed furloughed until the end of the year

I don't believe there has been anything new related to reflections - a little bit ago there was a new permit about show scene infrastructure for Star Wars Hotel so maybe that is what you are thinking of

Reflections may have been cancelled but they are still moving forward with the DVC Disneyland resort (...i think)

 

[Violetspider]

I've been wondering what will happen in relation to extending APs that are currently vouchers... We're scheduled at BLT (DVC) in what will likely still be the initial phase of opening (July 28th - Aug 2nd). I have Platinum and my nephew's family has Gold. Since are passes are not activated yet, what will happen for our stay with respect to the clock starting on our year? We aren't getting the full experience, so will our passes be extended? I know SDL has some kind of hold on AP day accumulation until they are out of the initial phases of opening, but does that apply to new passes as well or just to guests that had activated passes at the shut down? Anyone know?

Not Goofy’s!

(Seriously, that’s very, very strange).

That’s a totally different animal. They just presented to the city a few weeks ago. Disneyland has only about 1 million DVC points currently (Saratoga Springs alone has more than 10x what all of Disneyland has) and the pent up demand there is very clear. I’d be blown away if that was on the block.

How much was already torn up due to Reflections? Anything that is lost and can't come back?
